Ronaldinho flick

[aka Dus]

It was a fluke. Ask Cobs.

He didn't mean it for van Bommel, look at him, he thinks it's going back towards midfield.

 

Good effort, though room for improvement.

He was turning to his right hand side, in the direction of the midfield, after the flick, so I think

he meant to send the ball in the opposition direction for van Bommel.

Looks fairly clear to me that he was looking around for the ball he thought he passed to the chap behind him to the right till he realized it went the other way.

 

For what it's worth I reckon he meant that goal against England.

Hard to know for sure without a close up replay but his foot is not positioned correctly to send the ball to the man behind him (who had a defender too close to him in any event)

 

He span around to his right to sell a dummy and send his man the wrong way to buy Van Bommel (on the right) time.

definitely meant it. he masked the pass the same way laudrup used to do.

 

How come Ronaldinho is the only one who regularly has threads popping up asking if he really meant it? He must be the jammiest player in the world.

Controlling the ball to the extent that it popped off his heel nicely was a feat in itself. Just be happy with that, you greedy shower.

Still waiting for someone to post the Nike ad and say "WOW how does he do this crazy dude? omg !!111111."

How come it's always Ronaldinho that has threads about crossbar-hitting if he's such a fluke?
